Impoverished Lands of the United
and
I venture the statement that neither
the agricultural class nor tho world at
large estimates at its value the discovery
of tho preparation and use of artificial
manures. What we are accustomed to
call the natural fertility of the soil is soon
exhausted. For a long period after the
settlement of the American colonies the
inhabitants relied chiefly upon the
fertility of the soil. The begin-
of flocks and herds were by import-
and the means of the settlers were
limited, and the opportunities for obtain-
a supply of animals from England
were infrequent. As each new state
to the west was open for settle-
tho pioneers relied upon the
natural fertility of the soil, and
very generally they were deluded with
the notion that its fertility was
Except in a few favored spots,
as in the valleys of tho and Miami
rivers, the delusion has expelled by
experience. Those valleys are kept fer-
tile by an annual deposit of finely com-
minuted vegetable and mineral matter
brought down by the river freshets of
the spring. Thus section is robbed
of its fertility for the benefit of another.
The autumn crops that are gathered in
tho river valleys have exhausted the
natural resources of the earth as much
as they would have been exhausted if the
crops had been gathered on the
hillsides of the country above.
Although the forces of nature are at
work constantly in the earth,
the process is so slow that its present pop-
would diminish rather than in-
crease. Beginning with New York and
going west has been a common ex-
Tho lands that been
chopped for successive years without the
tho application of manures yielded
annually lees and less returns per acre.
The experience of the south previous to
the war was the same. With the
of the river bottoms the cotton lands
were soon exhausted. It was the
tom of the planters to secure a quantity
of land so large that not more than one-
third or one-quarter be- under
at same time. The larger
part was given over to a process of
natural renovation.
Yet even under this process the plan-
of the older cotton states were
and there was consequently,
an annual movement westward to the
valley of the Mississippi and tho plains of
Texas. It is manifest that under this
system of cultivation there must have
been a serious diminution of the cotton
product in less than half a century from
the opening of the war. In tho north and
west, the fact of a diminishing product
of wheat and corn was realized, the far-
began to apply animal manures.
But the ability to command even a
moderate supply of animal manures
plies conditions which do not everywhere
exist. First, tho country must produce
must yield pasturage on which
cattle can live during a part of the year.
In the most practical sense flesh is
Next, the seasons must be such
that the will require shelter for a
period of time, as otherwise there can be
no accumulations of manure for the us
of special fields and special crops. In the
south neither of these conditions existed.
Consequently, under the old system, the
people of that section could have adopted
no other plan of culture than that under
which they were acting.
In the north and west the country is a
grazing country generally, tho winters
are harsh and long, and consequently tho
accumulations of animal
considerable, but manifestly the supply
would be inadequate for the support of a
great population. Beyond this the dis-
of animal manure over large
fields, and its transportation from the
towns and cities to distant country dis-
is a heavy addition to the cost of a

Explosive Mora Destructive Tea.
W. T. Chamberlain, an American en-
residing in London, paid a visit
to in connection with a new
explosive which he is introducing to the
war department. He is the inventor of
the newest and most powerful explosive
known, namely, chlorine of nitrogen,
whose destructive effects are terrible in
the extreme, a very small quantity doing
infinitely more damage than a much
larger amount of any other explosive in
use. It is very sensitive, a very slight
concussion causing it to explode. He
has more than once been injured and in
danger of being blown to pieces, but kept
at it, determined to conquer or die In the
attempt.
He has completed a method of
or filling shells and projectiles with
chlorine nitrogen so that they may be
fired from a gun using powder with per-
safety. Military men to
judge in regard the invention Ann
it to be one of the most remarkable in-
of the age, and are of the
opinion that if any country had the mo-
of this it could defy
the world. The invention, it is
thought, will cause a complete change
or revolution in warfare, while for blast-
or mining purposes it will probably
never be equaled. Mr. Chamberlain has

It is no use asking mo for the secrets
of making the eyes bright. I know them,
but they are dangerous, and as
in the of any is
known to women who adopt such things,
they had better remain secret. Tho only
harmless tilings for the purpose are tho
juice of the herb or
dropped in the eye, or a spoonful of roast
coffee chewed for the juice alone. This
brightens the eyes for an evening, and is
useful to keep watchers wide awake
nights. But it must not be used often
or it affects tho heart. Pure blood and
thorough circulation, with unobstructed
functions, will secure glowing eyes of a
dark shade of their natural color,
gooseberry eyes to luminous dark
gray. Walking a mile briskly against
the wind is good exercise to darken and
brighten the eyes, whose beauty all de-
pend on a right circulation of the blood,
which in turn depends on more things
than can be mentioned

A Glance at the Camel.
A camel's bind legs will reach any-

a camel going one with his mouth
open and gurgling horribly is a terrify-
spectacle; but do not mind him, it is
only his way. I heard of one or two
men having a leg broken from a kick at
various times, but it was the exception
and not the rule, for a camel is really a
very docile animal, and learns to behave
himself in most trying positions with
equanimity, though I fear it is only the
result of want of

secret to take away wrinkles is to heat an
iron shovel red hot, throw on it a spoon-
of myrrh in powder, and smoke the
face over it, covering person and shovel
with a sheet to keep in the fumes. Re-
peat this three times, heat the shovel
again, and pour on it two spoonfuls of

three times. This rite is to be repeated
night and morning until the effect is

Bodily Presence Was Weak.
I remember a case where a small city
congregation that had among its
scarcely a man that was even fairly
well educated, heard a man preach
Sabbaths. He was a graduate of a
New England college and of one of the
best of our theological seminaries, a man
of good address, scholarly and gentle-
manly in his pulpit manners, a careful,
thoughtful and a fluent
speaker. He was disliked; and when
some of the chief men were questioned
as the cause of dissatisfaction, they re-
plied, doesn't have a commanding
readers of this letter will recall one
of old of whom it was said that his
bodily presence was weak and bis speech
contemptible; but they will be forced to
admit that Paul was, after all. something
of a preacher. This congregation in
search of a were
a feeble folk, numerically and financially;
and though the Lord's people, however
poor and weak, ought, theoretically, to
have the very best in -ray of spiritual
food, yet as things are in the church, as
well as in tho world, it is a question
whether they were wholly wise in looking
for perfection in the Lord's vessel, and
whether they were not too slow in
the Lord's grace contained in
it; and although ministers ought not to
be rated by the amount of salary that they
receive, still this incident will remind
many of the man who said, concerning
an underpaid servant girl, can't
expect all Christian virtues for a
Century.

Display Eclipses Anything Ever Seen
After the Yellow Fever.
As soon as the epidemic is over
first step would be to have a thorough
and systematic house to house
and all places carefully noted where
cases occurred. In these houses the mat-
tresses, blankets, carpets and woolen
materials should be burned. The linen
and cotton goods could effectually dis-

pound prepared for this purpose. By
this means. I tho city could be
freed from microbes and another vis-
next season fully prevented.
To do this would cost a great deal, and
that is reason why the government
could do it far more effectually than any
committee or other authority. It
would cost from to
and perhaps more, including,
of course, payments for goods destroyed
to those who could not afford to lose
them.
It will take fully two months to do all
this, but something energetic must be
done, for it will not do to have a second
epidemic. A season like this costs this
country an immense amount of money,
